I don’t know about you, but I LOVE peaches. So refreshing, juicy, and make the best snack!

Last week, I picked up a few pounds of them at my local grocery store because they were on sale. I wasn’t sure what I planned on doing with them all, but nonetheless, I bought them.

My kids and I enjoyed one each day, but after a few days, I realized I overbought as my pile wasn’t really going down.

I planned on making a peach cobbler with it, but also decided to try making a quick bread using them. If banana bread can be such a hit, why not peach bread, right?

After only about 10 minutes, I had the batter ready to go into the pans and bake! The house smelled incredible and let me tell you, this bread is a SUCCESS!!

Not overly sweet, great texture, moist, and just the right amount of fresh peaches throughout!

We all enjoyed it warm from the oven, however, even the next day, it was great when we warmed it up again, but this time, added some butter!

This would be a great option to pair in the morning with coffee, or enjoy as a snack mid day. Even a great option for an evening treat!

Enjoy some now, freeze some for later, or give some away as gifts! However you choose to enjoy this Southern Peach Bread….it’ll be a favorite with everyone!

It was good, I’d add more peaches and juice the next time I make it.

    We typically store ours in a storage bag or container at room temperature up to 4 days. If choosing to refrigerate, it will be good for up to 5 days, and then if frozen, up to 3 months. Enjoy!!

Just made this recipe, I had fresh very over ripe peaches, I took the seeds out and puréed the whole peach with the skin, the bread is very peach forward in taste. Wonderful recipe. Thank you for it.

I had made this about few months ago and had put it in the freezer. We just pulled it out of the freezer today and it froze well. The texture is more like a pound cake, very dense but ohhhh so yummy. I will definitely be making this one again. I just made one in a large loaf pan.

Delicious recipe! I used a can of spice cling peaches from del Monte, drained them really well, and dice them into cubes. They worked excellent. I also added one tsp of cinnamon to the recipe and that work as well. Thank you for the recipe it was delicious.

Can a person use almond flower?

  You should be able to do an even swap. Almond flour can be a bit more moist, so you may have to add a bit more almond flour than the all purpose calls for, but to start, I would do an even 1:1 ratio

Love this peach 🍑 bread! It’s not hard to make and not too sweet. I made it Sunday and again Tuesday. We had it for dessert and with coffee for breakfast. I’m planning to make it often.

  Absolutely! Try to eliminate as much of the liquid as you can, but canned works great too!

Mine did not look anything like the pic. I even made 2 batches. It had barely any peach flavor. Totally disappointed. I should have known … it was a Pinterest recipe!!!!

  Oh no! Such a bummer to hear as I have made this several times and its always a hit! Can you tell me what it looked like or what happened to it? So sorry to hear it was a disappointment! The peach flavor is mild in this as it has more of a pound cake taste with a slight hint of peach. To increase the peach flavor, you can add an additional 1/2 cup of diced peaches.

  Absolutely! That should work great! Just make sure it is one cup and try to eliminate any excess liquid so the bread doesn’t get too moist!
